ENGLISH EXTRA dCTS. A young woman named Sidney Kcelon, who was convicted at Armagh summer assizes, 1949. on a charge of stealing cattle, and transported for seven years, has just returned to Ireland, from Van ioemen's Land, and is at present delivering a course of lectures on her personal history and the horrors of transportation, in various towns in Ulster. 9Miss Keelen speaks very fluently, though, occasionally, she betrays her imperfect education. She is about twenty-eight years of age, neatly attired, and seems perfectly at home before an audience. Her remarks show that she is an attentive observer, and desirous of doing.something for her sex, especially warning them against whisky drinking, the bad effects of which she has seen so much of, during.her absence from Ireland. The disturbances in the church of St. George's-in the-cast are now likely to terminate. The Bishop of London has issued a monition forbidding the choristers from occupying seats within the com munion rails, an...

TIIB gold discovery at Kiandra has been, in every sense of the word, a great godsend to the community. Ever since the first vague rumours of its fabled riches, it has been the unfaiiling pabulum of gossip, the theme by day and dreanm by night of the imaginative digger, the cynosure of merchant and trades man, the hopel of squatter and farmer, and the inexhaustible source of inspiration, and almost 'the solo subject of discourse with journalists, politicians, quidnunes, gobemomuches and corre spondents, and still forms the bulk of the letter-press in newspapers, and the unceasing btirden of conversation by chimnoey-nook andt on 'changoe If we are to believe all that has ;been said- of it, indeed, Kiandra is the very crisis of our fate; and from its discovery and development as a gold-producing region, we . shall date the new era of prosperity on which we are about to enter, and whose fill flood tide is to bear us on, unchallenged, to that foremost place for which tile Australian pro ...

ENGLISH EXTRA CTS. THIn ENoLISH PRESS ON TIIH NEW ZEA LAND QUESTION.--The 'Times' of June 15, while giving a brief narrative of the facts so flr as theyv ure yet known or can be at all safely conlectured, says:-Either the anger of supplanted proprietors or the jealousy of a declining race has served to kindle the war now reported, and in neither case can we have any cause for self-reproach. Ifthereo was any usurpation in the matter of the land at Newv Plymoutlh, we were not the usurpers. We dealt with the ostensible owners and actual possessors of the soil, and became the pur chasers by a boni fide bargain, valid accord eg to native custom and natural law. As to the nationality movement, if that is really at the bottom of the disturbance, such paroxsmsns of feeling can be easily comprehended. Tlhey are but the necessary incidents, of the process by which a superior race displaces an inferior one-incidents, in fiact, of colomnsation itself, and need suggest no reproach if we do but c...

The ruffians were disappointed in their expectations of booty, no church money or plate being kept there. On ttlhe discovery of the outrage the churchwardens promptly offered a reward of £10 for information that would lead to the .conviction of the offenders. Chief-con stable Gemell receiving the information, went very actively to work, and in less than two hours tad the supposed ruffian in durance vilo. lie stands re manded to Monday next.
